We had a fantastic stay at Holly Tree Cottage. The beds were very comfortable, the travel cot for our toddler was clean, and the kitchen was fully equipped for cooking. The cottage was warm and spacious, and the extension provided a great amount of extra space. The hot tub was lovely and very warm. We would highly recommend this place and would definitely return!

Amazing home and close to all the Cotswold
Such a lovely home and had all the amenities needed for our group of 4 adults and two little ones. Looked exactly like the photos but even better and the kitchen was a dream for our week long stay. The water was hot and the fireplace was great for the crisps winter weather. We can not recommend this home enough!

Lovely cottage in great location
Great location in a pretty quiet road very near Witney ( although you would need a car!)
Plenty of room in the cottage and garden was easily big enough for our 2 cockapoos to run around in! Kids play area was lovely and family enjoyed the hot tub a great deal after a long day exploring.

Our Adventure
Loved our stay at Holly Tree cottage. There were a few cobwebs, hence the 4 for cleanliness. Great location if you have a car, close to lots of places.

Fabulous!
We had a brilliant weekend away celebrating a birthday at Holly Tree Cottage. The house was immaculate, comfortable, stylish and of very high quality throughout. The owners were very quick to respond to a query we had. The kids loved the play area and we loved the house and hot tub! Would definitely recommend a stay here and we will certainly be back again!

Absolutely perfect, beautiful house, relaxing surroundings and great dog walks,
Had such a fabulous week, host as so friendly and accommodating.
The house is warm and has everything we needed. The hot tub was warm and ready to go when we arrived.
The area is dog friendly, we went into Whitney and had lunch a few times, very welcoming town with the best dog friendly pubs and cafes. The blue boar was our favourite.
Would definitely recommend the area and Holy Tree house.

Lovely cottage with everything we needed
We really enjoyed our stay at Holly Tree Cottage. We found it to be comfortable, clean and well equipped. The garden was great for enjoying the sunny weather and having a barbecue. Lovely walk to nearby pub. We particularly liked the smart fridge that plays music when you accidentally leave it open!!
Only downside was the view of the bins while we were having our evening drinks in the garden - would be good if the bins were concealed somehow.
Otherwise all very enjoyable, thank you :)

Great base in the Cotswolds
Stayed at Holly Tree Cottage in February and despite the weather the six of us and our dog had a great time. The cottage was as advertised, very comfortable and spacious enough for six. Made great use of the Hot Tub even in the cold damp weather.
Great location for visiting Burford, Witney and Bourton on the Water and other Cotswold villages, enjoyed a muddy walk around the local countryside and a lovely Sunday Lunch at the Lamb and Flag, five minutes by car or a 10 minute walk across the countryside.

Our cotswold stay
The cottage was lovely! It needs air conditioning during these very hot days. The stairs were tricky! Very steep! The bath tubs very slippery and really needed anti skid mats!
Although we were told we could open the windows with no fear of flying insects it was not so! We needed to open the windows to release the heat and allow for fresh air and there were many many flying bugs. The owner was very kind to supply fans but it really wasn't enough!

Comfortable, but a few details could be better
We enjoyed our time in the Cotswolds and the house had potential—it’s spacious and the beds were comfortable. However, there were several details that didn’t match the standard we expected for the price.
The garden was dry and not very inviting, and unfortunately we couldn’t use the jacuzzi because the chlorine levels were too high. The dining room floor wasn’t properly clean, and the inside of the kitchen cupboards was quite dusty.
It was also very hot during the first few days, which made it hard to rest comfortably, as there was no proper ventilation or cooling.
With some care and attention to detail, this place could be truly great—but as it stands, we found it a bit disappointing for the cost.

Lovely peaceful break in the countryside
Holly Tree Cottage is set in a beautiful little hamlet, with some lovely walks.
The owners have obviously invested in the cottage, with high specification bathrooms and a beautiful wooden kitchen.
We stayed as two adults, two children (7 and 11) and two dogs (small breeds).
Overall we loved the walks, hot tub, location for exploring the surrounding villages and towns. We booked the stay between house moves and it was perfect for a couple of days escape!
There are a few things to be aware of though which didn’t detract from our holiday but may do others.
1. There are lots of spiders! They provided much fun for the dogs in the lounge but they aren’t small….
2. The house is a semi and has neighbours, less good if you’ve got a reactive dog - plus there is no gate on the drive so be careful with dogs and children straight onto the road.
3. Some parts of the house and garden could do with maintenance - the area by the side gate in the garden is overgrown and uneven, the attic could do with a hatch on it so you can’t see up, and the bannisters of the stairs I imagine would be easy for small children to fit through. So you may wish to consider these bits if you are taking smaller children.
4. We had hoped to walk over the fields to the pub in the next village. Unfortunately there were horses in the field and so with the dogs we felt this wouldn’t work and the roads are a little too country to go too far with dogs and kids on them. We did however drive out and enjoy food in Witney and at the local fish and chips, as well as using the BBQ which was a great addition.
So overall for us a great stay, but just a few things to be aware of depending on your needs.
